[rancher44]

Hi all
Just found a product that will repair plastic tanks or anything plastic .
It is good for gas or diesel . The product is called seal all and is sold in Ace hard ware stores.
I had a plastic tank on a weedeater leak and it fixed it . great product.

Weld repairs are easy on PE tanks. Can be completed with a decent soldering iron and some filler plastic. A chopping board will often suffice.

Personally I wouldn't bother repairing PE plastic fuel tanks. The cleaning process required is usually not worth the trouble. The repair on dirty plastic will lack the strength of the parent material.

Adhesives for thermoplastics are somewhat of an oxymoron.
